Shock reports have claimed Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is keen on a move for Chelsea youngster Andreas Christensen, according to the Sun.

Christensen, 19, is stalling on a new Chelsea deal and his current terms expire at the end of next season, and that has led to talk that he could quit the club in search of regular first team football.

And that has reportedly sparked Rodgers’ interest with defenders Glen Johnson and Kolo Toure set to leave Anfield on a free in the summer.

The Liverpool boss hopes a £6m offer will tempt the Premier League champions into selling the defender.
